Name: | Soprani Inc. “Ravenna” Art Deco-Inspired Accordion |
Personality: | First of all, I am absolutely gorgeous (if you like that Art Deco, sleek, symmetrical, streamlined, pleasing to the eye sort of thing). I am also humble. I am definitely vintage. I have mother of pearl keys and bindings. I sound great! My bellows is near perfect as are my grills. My straps are in excellent condition. I have my own case and instructional books (five of them). Listen to me here: View on YouTube. |
Breed: | 48 Bass Piano Accordion |
Pedigree: | Soprani Inc. |
Age: | Around 85 Years old. |
Weight: | 15 lbs. without the case |
Origin: | Castelfidardo, Italy. |
Color: | Black and white mother of pearl with rhinestones |
History: | I was born in Castelifardo, Italy in the early 1940s. I likely came into the USA through Boston or New York just after WWII. It is also likely (based upon some research) that I spent some time in a Chicago music store in the 1950s. I got to Terra Alta, WV in early 2022 after being rescued from Portland, OR. |
Adoption Fee: | adopted at CheatFest 2023 |
All of the musical creatures that you will see have been rescued from attics, basements, closets, flea markets, estate sales and/or thrift stores. They have been rescued in various stages of repair and playability. Some required extensive work and some just a little TLC. Rest assured that when you adopt one of these fine musical creatures, they will be ready to play.
